Automatic Exports

Click the “Automatic Exports…” to enable automatic data export of the system readings.

There are 3 different data formats and 2 delivery methods available.

The formats are:

• Basic Text

• Hourly Average

• Basic XML

The delivery methods are:

• FTP

• Post

If FTP is selected as a method, then “FtpUserName” and “FtpPassword” fields are displayed that shall be filled in to obtain an access to FTP.

The Interval field defines the period of the readings exported. The possible choices are:

• Day

• Hour

• 10 Minutes

• 5 Minutes

Automatic Export to FTP

To define a data export in any format to FTP enter “Remote Host” location, select interval, format and “Ftp” as a delivery method. Enter the FTP user name and password.

Click OK and sign.

Automatic Export as POST

To define a data export in XML format as POST enter “Remote Host” location, select interval, Basic XML format and “Post” as a delivery method.

Using this method readings from Boomerang system may be sent to another system. The exported XML file contains all the readings for a chosen interval for all the sensors visible to the user the report is created for.

This another system may be another Boomerang system with ICU Logger PC node used to handle XML exported data.

An example contents of the XML included in the POST:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?><Devices-Detail-Response xmlns='http:**//**www.icuscandinavia.com/schema/owserver'

To send the data in the POST to another Boomerang system (in example its server is at IP address 192.168.61.26) enter its ‘IP address/GenRec.aspx’ into ‘Remote Host’ field, select interval, Basic XML format and POST delivery method.

The data are sent from device ‘user_name’ (makr11 in the example).

The sensor IDs are the sensor names from the POSTing system (‘Room 15 RH’ in the example).

To receive the POSTed data in another B2 system, create an ICU Logger PC node there as described in 20.1.4. using ‘user_name’ as its Device ID. Use the poll interval equal or bigger than the POST interval to avoid error messages.

After ICU Logger node is created add sensor(s) using sensor names from the POSTing system as Sensor IDs.

This virtual sensor will display the readings delivered from the POSTing system.
